Keke Palmer Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Keke Palmer is just snatching all the roles out there right now and we are here for it!

The actress and musician will star in MTV’s Scream reboot, THR reports.

Keke will play Kym, a bold and beautiful social activist with a big heart and zero patience for suffering fools. When Kym and her friends find themselves hunted by a killer, she works to flip the script and survive at any cost.

The reboot will center on Deion Elliot, a local star running back whose tragic past comes back to haunt him at the worst time, threatening his hard-earned plans for his future – and the lives of his unlikely group of friends.

The 23-year-old actress and singer is slated to play Gigi, a “ratchet and rich” recording artist on the second season of the Fox show Star, Deadline reports.

If you haven’t seen it, Star follows three ambitious singers navigating the music business, and we can’t wait to see what Keke‘s hilarity and acting chops (not to mention her stunning singing voice) bring to the show.

This new role reunites her with Queen Latifah, who Keke starred with in Akeelah & The Bee and the Ice Age movies.

“Since he’s on my shirt, I might as well *insert a dramatic Kanye story* hahaha,” she writes, “Seriously though I will never forget the first time I met Kanye. It was the night I first presented at the NAACP Awards, I was about 12 I think. The TelePrompTer went down when I was doing my part and I started making jokes on stage while I waited for it to reboot cause I got nervous!”

Wow! That’s seriously impressive, but also not surprising at all coming from Keke.

“After the show when everyone was leaving, Kanye called out to me and said ‘Girl you funny! I like what you did up there,’” she continues, “it made my whole night, like whaaat Chicago’s #1 thinks I’m funny.”

In other words, first time she met her idol, he not only noticed her, but he was impressed by her!

“He probably doesn’t even remember this story, but the gag is, I always will!” she ends her recap. We will too — it’s an amazing story.

Keke Palmer is opening up about the struggle of finding her ideal guy!

The 23-year-old entertainer recently explained her problem with finding a guy the right age for her.

“The older guys that come at me…I’m talking late 30s, early 40s but it’s like, we can’t grow up together…it’s not enough growth period for me too because I need some time, I don’t know everything,” Keke told Power 106.

She went on to explain that she likes younger guys but mostly finds them immature.

Keke added, “When I’m thinking about the guys that’s my age, they’re just too rushed for everything! You’re trying to be too much too fast and you don’t even know my middle name!”

“So often people feel like, you know what, I’m just going to beat them to the punch and either degrade myself or be so damn perfect they have nothing to say,” Keke told Yahoo Beauty. “We’ve seen extremes of that. In the sense of the Kardashians, it’s like, I’m going to show you so much perfect and be everything a woman should be or everything a man would like or love. And I’m going to be exactly that so you can’t bully me anymore.”

“Specifically in the situation with Kylie [Jenner], where you’ve had a young girl people have seen on television since she was a kid and they literally told her she was so ugly – the ugly person in the family,” Keke continued. “She went and did apparently everything the world deems as beautiful. The even crazier part is that everybody loves her for it.”
